Members Pkay Posted February 12, 2015 Members Report Posted February 12, 2015 You should worry we are not even allowed to own a hand gun in the UK. A few years ago I made a holster for a 45 magnum and I admit I was quite worried about having it in my shop. Quote
Members JoelR Posted February 13, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 13, 2015 Pkay, always like hearing from those across the pond to make me glad of our (current) rights in the US. I've taken possession of numerous handguns since this thread was started, including those of local LEOs, so my concerns have waned a bit, but it still sticks in the back of my mind. After all, we have no idea how the firearms we are holding were acquired. Granted, most looking for custom work are honest individuals.

Members camano ridge Posted February 13, 2015 Members Report Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Well, I am not across the pond. I am in Washington state. We have a new law that any exchange of a firearm requires a background check. If you read the law and take it literaly. If I hand you a gun just to look at and I did not do a background check first I just comitted a misdemeanor, when you hand it back to me you comitted another one if you did not do a background check on me. Good thing I have lots of dummy guns. Edited February 13, 2015 by camano ridge Quote https://www.facebook.com/CamanoRidgeCustomLeather?fref=ts

Members camano ridge Posted February 13, 2015 Members Report Posted February 13, 2015 Sounds like it is time to move back to PA. Quote https://www.facebook.com/CamanoRidgeCustomLeather?fref=ts
Members chiefjason Posted February 13, 2015 Members Report Posted February 13, 2015 That WA law is absurd. I heard where one of the gun rights organizations was going to rally and have everyone passing their guns around and doing a show and tell to demonstrate the absurdity of it. Here in NC, I have a CCP so no worries on my end. Heck, I can show you that and just buy the pistol from you if I wanted too. Makes things easy. Quote
Members DoubleAdobe Posted February 24, 2015 Members Report Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Those are my thoughts as well, sir. While not fool-proof, knowing a little about your customer in advance goes a long way. I have refused to do some jobs for some people, I tried to to do it in graceful ways, but if I know something about them previously that isn't right in my mind, I just move on by. I have the business to prove that too, haha. Lawyers and legal documents have their uses, but in my mind shouldn't enter in to these kinds of jobs. Edited to add, I was referring to K-Man's post on page 1. Let common sense prevail, if you feel you need legal representation to fabricate a holster, let someone else make it.
